“I love Dr. Pikos and Dr. Hedger, I’m over the moon with my new teeth,” recalls Ellen Konof. Ellen was missing multiple teeth, and because of that, she avoided going out in public, including getting together

with her family. She came to Coastal Jaw Surgery looking for help with both her smile and her self-confidence.

For nearly 40 years, the doctors at Coastal Jaw Surgery have been caring for patients in the Greater Tampa Bay Area. Dr. Michael A. Pikos opened the Palm

Harbor office in 1983 with the goal to treat patients like family, while ensuring their oral health needs are cared for.

Happy Thanksgiving! - Practice Gratitude, Always

This year Thanksgiving will be observed on Thursday, November 24, 2022. During this time, millions of Americans take time off work (a 4-day weekend starting Thursday) and spend time with family and friends over a large feast held on Thanksgiving Day.

While being grateful for your food, friends, and family, take a little time to remember Sarah Josepha Hale, a woman who helped make this national day of thanks possible.

Sarah Josepha Buell was born on October 24, 1788, on a farm in New port, New Hampshire. She is remem bered as a curious, intelligent, and eager-to-learn woman. Encouraged to follow her dreams by her husband, David Hale, Sarah wrote many short stories and articles. Many of these were published in local newspapers just like ours!

Mr. Hale passed away suddenly in 1822, leaving Sarah with five young children to take care of. To make ends meet, she worked at small retail shops, and she also spent time working as a teacher and writer. Hale published her first book of poems, including one that became the famous nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Her writing success opened many doors for her, becoming the Chief Editor of a local magazine. During her time as editor, Hale wrote hundreds of letters to governors, ministers, newspaper editors, and every U.S. president with one request: to make the last Thursday in November be set aside to “offer to God our tribute of joy and gratitude for the blessings of the year.”

Native American Harvest Festivals had already been taking place for cen turies in North America, with colonists’ services to give thanks, but there had never been a “Thanksgiving” holiday.

In 1864, with the country torn by the Civil War, Hale’s campaign finally got people’s attention and President Abraham Lincoln’s attention, who par ticularly liked Hale’s idea. On October 3, 1863, Lincoln issued a proclamation declaring the last Thursday of Novem ber as “National Thanksgiving Day.”

Furthermore, Lincoln ordered all gov ernment offices in Washington to be closed that day to spend the day with loved ones and give thanks.

In 1939, President Roosevelt was pressured by store owners to move Thanksgiving to the third Thursday in November to allow more shopping days between the Holiday and Christ mas. Roosevelt agreed, but millions of Americans didn’t follow the orders and continued celebrating Thanksgiving Day on the last Thursday of November. In 1940, Roosevelt realized the decision was a mistake and re-assigned it to the fourth Thursday in November.

In the spirit of gratefulness and giving back, I would like to invite all of our readers to consider volunteering or donating (as much or as little as pos sible) to any local shelters or non-profit organizations that support a cause that speaks to you and that you may be pas sionate about.

For volunteer opportunities in your area, please visit: https://unitedwaysun coast.org/

I wish you all a happy, blessed, and bountiful Thanksgiving day from our family to yours!

Until next time, Carla M. Dubis Tedeschi.

Tech Talk with Bob: Keep Your Accounts More Secure

Hello Friend! Last month, in honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, I shared that my cybersecurity team and I had produced an informational guide to help you identify and keep yourself safer from scammers. I’m very proud of all of you who called to receive one of these guides, taking your cybersecurity in your own hands. If you haven’t yet called to receive your FREE guide, they’re still available, just call us at 727-534-4000 and we’ll send one your way without any cost or obligation to you.

Within the guide we discuss how to keep yourself safe from scammers. One way to do that is enabling twofactor (2FA) or multi-factor authentica tion (MFA) on your online accounts. I’ve had many calls of people asking for more information on how to know if they have 2FA or MFA enabled on their accounts. With the holiday season approaching and people using their email, banking, and social media accounts more than usual, now is the time to be sure that you have them safe and secure.

Firstly, I recommend that when you set up any new online accounts that you create a new, unique password for each account. If the website, you cre ated the account with is the victim of a cyberattack those cybercriminals will now have the email address and pass word you used to create the account. With this information the cybercrimi

nals have access to not only the ac count they have the stolen information for, but any of your other accounts that use the same email address and password are also in jeopardy.

I’ve had people who created an account for a website they used once, forgot, but used the same credentials as their Facebook account and conse quently lost access to the Facebook account. Others have lost their email accounts and even their banking and other financial accounts.

To keep these accounts safe from cybercriminals you should enable MFA. Multi-factor authentication is an electronic authentication method that requires a user to present two or more pieces of evidence to gain access to an account. This authentication re quires you to sign into your account like usual; it’ll then ask to send you a code via text, email, or voice call. Once the code is successfully entered, you’ll have access to your account.

How to tell if it’s enabled? Do you have to enter a code when you login?

If not, you’ll want to check your set tings. Once in your account, you’ll want to find the settings or security heading. Underneath that you’ll want to scroll until you find the MFA. If it isn’t enabled, you’ll want to do that. It’ll ask you to provide an email ad dress, landline, or mobile phone num ber. After selecting your method, a code will be sent for you to enter and you’re all set.

With the holiday season near I know that you’ll be connecting to friends and family through social me dia or using your email to track pack ages and make travel reservations. By enabling and using multi-factor authentication it will help to keep your holiday communications smoother by being more secure. If you need any help checking or enabling multi-factor authentication on your accounts, my team and I are just a phone call away.

Are you certain your computer and accounts are safe? You don’t have to do this alone my friend. My team and I are here to keep your computer safer and keep it run ning. My team repairs computers and secures them, on our bench, on-site in your home or office, and even remotely. Call us anytime at 727-534-4000. We’ve been helping folks restore their peace of mind, and sanity, with their technology for decades.

We Keep You Safer In Your Digital World!

SAT AND ACT IMPROVEMENT: GOOD NEWS

Now that fall is in full swing, high school students are caught up in a frenzy of studies and activities.

MOST SENORS are in the throes of college applications and making preparations to take a final reound of SAT/ ACT Exams in December, or after the first of the year.

MANY JUNIORS are wondering about their PSAT Exam results and when they should start preparing for the real SAT and ACT Exams.

MANY SOPHOMORES have started thinking about how they will prepare for the rigors of college applications and exams in their futures.

EVERYONE is thinking about Bright Futures’ Scholarships – which can mean around $18,000 - $25,000 for tuition and some additional costs at UF, FSU, USF, UCF, and other public universities in Florida.

Plus, this award can be a powerful negotiating tool when talking with private universities inside and outside of Florida when my families know how to use it.

Shortly after the last SAT Exam, I received this email from one of my students: “The SAT went well today for me. I followed all of our plans and your mental coaching was especially effective today (I felt like I was in control and I used our vision imagining mind

clearing technique). I finished every section with time left and there were very few questions I didn’t understand, so I feel great about this attempt. Thank you for all your help this far, and I look forward to our future work.”

EXAM BLUES

Also, I always receive many calls at this time about what I call the “EXAM BLUES”. The cause is that a strong student, often in IB, multiple AP classes, or dual enrolled; did not score at the level expected on their SAT or ACT Exam earliler in the fall; or on their PSAT in October.

THE GOOD NEWS

I consistently find that students respond incredibly well and improve when they become both teacher and student as in a college seminar at the junior or senior level where I am their coach. My role is to quickly help them determine where they need to work and to be a resource as they progress. Lecturing is no substitute for determining a student’s baseline level and then structuring their learning around their needs. It very satisfying to see their motivations soar when their perspective changes from “Can I do this?” to “I can do this well.” and then to “Let me show you how well I can do.” They discover that real competition is internal

best - external results take care of themselves. Learning the strategies often result in comments like, “Cool” and “That makes it a lot easier”. More important, they learn how to “learn for a lifetime”.

REWARDING COMMENTS

“I wanted you to know that my SAT score just came back and I got a 1430. What a jump. Thanks so much for all your help with the exam, and the many ‘life lessons’ we discussed during classes. “In one of my high school classes, the teacher asked how we had done on the ACT. My classmates were very surprised when I said ‘32’. Several asked who had helped me, and I gave them your name and phone number.”

“I actually qualified for 100% Bright Futures with the ACT. Biggest surprise, Science

“My college essay is far better now. Thank you!”

A Stellar Entrance

November’s Gregg Schindler

Female Athlete of the Month is Carlee Kromolicki, a freshman running for the Varsity Cross Country team. Despite being new to high school, Kromolicki is already the sixth fastest runner at J W Mitchell, and she continues to improve.

Her personal best 5 kilometer run this season so far is a 19:39. Practicing almost daily, she works to run faster and longer, as the team’s six mile training helps her to build the endurance needed for tense competition.

“I really focus on running faster every time. When we run the six miles, I run it to get better at the 5Ks,” Kromolicki said.

The team was successful at their last District meet, when they qualified for the Regional meet. Although the first year of competition can be formidable, she didn’t let her mentality break, as she was aspiritive in her efforts.

“Under pressure, I’ll just take deep breaths and tell myself ‘it’s OK, you can keep going’. I just think about finishing, and getting it done. Running on the team has made me more confident to do more and experience more things,” Kromolicki said. So far, she is content with her achievements, being that she

is a freshman and already making gains within the team. One of her future goals is running a 16:30 5K by her senior year, as she plans to run throughout the rest of her high school career.

“When I achieve a goal, I feel relieved and I feel like I can achieve more. I think I’ve helped the team get to Regionals, and I’m hoping to help them get to States,” Kromolicki said. Beyond high school, she plans on continuing to run for college and getting faster, possibly going to the University of Tampa or the University of South Florida. She also plans to run in the State meet, this Nov. 7. Congratulations to Carlee Kromolicki on earning the November 2022 Gregg Schindler Female Athlete of the Month award!

New teammate has a good beginning season to set up future success.

The male Gregg Schindler student athlete of the month is Cole Schaeffer (‘24.) This remarkable athlete has been competing in regional swimming and making waves for six years. Schaeffer began looking into competitive swimming when he was in fourth grade after having a try at another sport, but he ultimately chose swim as the sport where his efforts would be most rewarded. He competes as a free swimmer. Free swim is where the competing swimmer assumes a position with their arms and legs dragging through the water while the torso remains still.

When an athlete has been engaging with one sport for a long period of time, it is safe to assume that they have experienced both negative and positive outcomes. Schaeffer jokes about how he handles losing an event, “We say this as swimmers, it is not always true, sometimes you have a bad pool that you swim in,” he added “I don’t try to dwell over it too

Life in the Fastline: Cole Schaeffer

much but I still reflect on it.” Keeping this positive attitude and mindset has helped the young athlete improve impeccably in skill. “I actually dropped time in everything I swam, ‘’ explained the swimmer. Dropping from a time of 54 last year in the free 100 category to a 52 this year, Schaeffer hopes to train and strengthen as the season goes on so that he may make it to state next year. “In the off season I’m going to keep up the work

and hopefully get down to that [state levels] next year.”

After making regionals this year, Cole now has his eyes set on possibly attending UF, the University of Florida. In honor of making regionals Schaeffer and his teammates celebrate before the competition by having a swim team party. The athlete talks about the positivity surrounding his team. “It’s great we all have a super fun time!”

Many players have role models or other athletes

that they look up to for inspiration. Schaeffer’s personal swim hero’s are Katie Ledecky, Andrew Taylor, and Michael Phelps. With a hopeful and bright future ahead of him Schaeffer deliberates how swimming will fit into that future. “If I could get a scholarship that would be really great, like UF, that would be the best.”

Congratulations to Cole Schaeffer for being the Gregg Schindler of the month!

“Coastal Jaw” story continued from page 1

Anthony M. Pikos, Periodontist; and Dr. Philip J. Hedger, Prosthodontist.

We are all committed to the practice’s mission to provide exceptional dental care, under one roof, while creating a safe, welcoming environment to make all patients feel like family. The practice offers a wide range of services including Same Day Teeth®, traditional dental implants, Zygomatic implants, oral surgery, and periodontal services.

Same Day Teeth® is an innovative surgical procedure that bypasses

the traditional dental implant’s time-consuming process and allows for the placement of implants and new teeth to occur on the very same day. Same Day Teeth® protocol begins with a 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, which will provide us with 3D images of your bone, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and teeth. This allows us to determine the optimal placement of your implants, using the best digital assessment software and related state-of-theart technology, to ensure your treatment is truly customized.

Most service providers, especially corporate-based providers, treat everyone the same way - with a onesize-fits-all mentality. But not at Coastal Jaw Surgery! You are as unique as your fingerprint and as a result, we draw from a variety of digital-based, precision solutions to give you a customized, beautiful, and natural smile which restores your ability to eat and chew the foods you love. Our unique approach not only includes a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient, but also a thorough and detailed explanation.

“The best around, not

only in Florida, but I am convinced the best in the nation”, states Nicholas Louis. Nicholas received traditional dental implants for his Same Day Teeth® procedure. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in your jaw to support replacement teeth. These replacement teeth are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile, provide optimal functionality, and reduce your risk of developing other oral health issues.

Coastal Jaw Surgery offers several dental implant

options to ensure your smile is natural and custom to you.

Same Day Teeth® offers patients a beautiful, natural smile completed on the same day with the use of dental implants, zygomatic implants, or subperiosteal implants. Patients who are missing teeth in their upper jaw, or whose teeth have broken down due to advanced periodontal disease, may be good candidates for

zygomatic dental implants. These implants are longer and anchored in the upper jawbone near the zygoma bone. Patients who are experiencing significant bone loss in the lower jaw may be good candidates for subperiosteal implants. This type of implant must be custom-made to fit the contours of a patient’s bone. Plus, Coastal Jaw Surgery is recognized as the first ZAGA Center in North America. This is a

prestigious distinction, as there are only 60 centers throughout the world, each of which is recognized as a Zygomatic Implant Specialty practice.

If you have been told you are not a candidate for dental implants due to bone loss, Coastal Jaw Surgery is the answer for you! Our doctors have the opportunity to help you with your missing teeth or illfitting dentures with Same Day Teeth®’s solutions to

traditional dental implants. We encourage second opinions. We make sure the best treatment possible is presented to you, so the end-result gives you back your smile and selfconfidence.

Our Coastal Jaw Surgery team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontist have 65 years of combined experience within the realm of implant dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, and prosthodontics. There is no better place to go for your comprehensive dental care. Are you ready to Transform your smile and Change your life with Same Day Teeth®? Contact Coastal Jaw Surgery!

How to decorate around the Christmas tree

For many, the Christ mas tree takes center stage around the holiday season. Whether it’s a nostalgic masterpiece made of hand made ornaments from your childhood or it follows a subtle and modern theme, the Christmas tree easily becomes the focal point this time of year.

With such an iconic holi day staple gaining the atten tion in your living room, fam ily room or whatever area of your home it resides, it can feel difficult to make sure the rest of the room is up to par. To ensure you make the Christmas spirit flow throughout the room, we have a few tips for decorat ing around the tree:

Make the mantel the star of the show

The mantel is the perfect place to set the tone for Christmas — a blank slate can help you set the founda tion for more holiday deco rations without taking up any floor space. Mini deco rative trees, holiday ceram ics, lights and candles are simple objects you can use to spruce up this space and help the eye wander around the room instead of focusing solely on the tree.

Be merry and bright twin kling lights

What’s Christmas without an array of lights? Decorat ing with string lights may be the most popular for the exterior of your home, but you can create your own liv ing winter wonderland in the living room with the right amount of twinkling lights. We recommend white lights, as this is a timeless option that can go with nearly any color scheme.

Go festive with a red and green theme

When the red and green decor comes out, you know it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The tree will surely take precedence when it comes to laying the foundation for this color scheme, but a collection of red and green decor surrounding the tree can make the room feel more complete. Consider red and green accessories such as:

• Accent pillows and blan kets

• Area rugs

• Tableside accessories

• The Christmas tree skirt

• Picture and artwork frames

• Candleholders

• Coffee table decor

• Window treatments

With the right mixture of holiday hues through out your living space, the Christmas tree will become more of a single piece of the puzzle than the entire

masterpiece.

Play the Christmas classics all season long

As soon as the room is filled to the brim with holiday decorations, there’s a simple finishing touch you can add to ensure you achieve the holiday atmo sphere to its full potential: Christmas music or movies. You can play your favor ite Christmas songs in the

background while baking cookies, wrapping presents, or reading Christmas stories to the children. Likewise, a Christmas movie marathon offers the perfect opportu nity to embrace the deco rations and settle into the Christmas vibe to its fullest extent.

Children come to their visit with Santa very excited. Prior to the session, each child will receive a Golden Invitation in the mail to have milk and cookies with Santa. The invitation will be mailed in a gold envelope addressed directly to each child. Also, in the golden enve lope, your child will find a red velvet pouch with a bell from Santa’s sleigh.

WARDROBE.

We have beautiful vintage white nightgowns for girls, women, and grandmothers. Christmas pajamas for boys, men, and grandfathers are also

provided.

GIFT FROM SANTA

During the session, each child will receive a memorable gift from Santa. The Magic Wish Book, a precious time capsule and words to live by for gen erations. Once your child writes their wishes into the Wish Book, they magi cally become visible to the elves at the North Pole and Santa. This becomes a private portal to Santa, where your child can share thoughts and wishes with Santa while stirring your child’s imagination. There is space at the end of the wish book for adult members of the child’s family to write something they want that child to never forget. Each adult takes one page only...imag ine the life lessons that will be in this little book. Once full, this special little

book will become priceless, captur ing the wonder of your child and the wisdom of your family, all in their own handwriting.
